Did anybody apply for an Open Work Permit for his/her spouse based on Study Permit?
I've just got my SP but we are still waiting for my spouse WP. I am wondering what are the chances to get the spousal WP...

thanks for your reply
they gave this reason
Do not meet requirements of C42. Study permit has less than 6 Months remaining validity

and this is because my husband's passport is expiring in april 2016

Is your husband planning to renew the study permit or is he about to finish the course? when and where did you apply?

my piece of advise, better wait for the new study permit before you apply again.

Thankyou so much, we will do that
but i am only confused if its ok to apply visit visa or should i have to re-apply the same one so that i can focus on gathering my documents.
